This week as world leaders met in London for the G20 summit, and as protesters took to the streets in that capital city, nothing seemed to garner more attention that Michelle Obama and the clothes she wore. No other meeting seemed to be expected with more bated anticipation than that between her and Carla Bruni, the Italian singer, model and wife of French President, Nicolas Sarkozy. While both women are fashionistas, and women whose style I admire, I have to say that in their first meeting, I preferred Carla’s coat (see image above). It may be my bias against bright patterns, but I also think Michelle looks a bit matronly and not as stylish as I have become accustomed to seeing her .
Here’s another picture from that same meeting, sans coats.
Once again, in this image I prefer Carla’s dress. While I like the classic cut of Michelle’s dress, I like the chicness of Carla’s.
What do you think?
